“…Even at ppt levels, these compounds can alter hormonal mechanisms in animals, producing harmful effects such as feminization of aquatic fauna, infertility and cancer [ 86 ]. For these reasons, StEEs have increasingly drawn the attention of the community and regulatory authorities.…”

New technologies have been developed around the world to tackle current emergencies such as biowaste recycling, renewable energy production and reduction of environmental pollution. The thermochemical and biological conversions of waste biomass for bioenergy production release solid coproducts and byproducts, namely biochar (BC), hydrochar (HC) and digestate (DG), which can have important environmental and agricultural applications. Due to their physicochemical properties, these carbon-rich materials can behave as biosorbents of contaminants and be used for both wastewater treatment and soil remediation, representing a valid alternative to more expensive products and sophisticated strategies. The alkylphenols bisphenol A, octylphenol and nonylphenol possess estrogenic activity comparable to that of the human steroid hormones estrone, 17β-estradiol (and synthetic analog 17α-ethinyl estradiol) and estriol. Their ubiquitous presence in ecosystems poses a serious threat to wildlife and humans. Conventional wastewater treatment plants often fail to remove environmental estrogens (EEs). This review aims to focus attention on the urgent need to limit the presence of EEs in the environment through a modern and sustainable approach based on the use of recycled biowaste. Materials such as BC, HC and DG, the last being examined here for the first time as a biosorbent, appear appropriate for the removal of EEs both for their negligible cost and continuously improving performance and because their production contributes to solving other emergencies, such as virtuous management of organic waste, carbon sequestration, bioenergy production and implementation of the circular economy. Characterization of biosorbents, qualitative and quantitative aspects of the adsorption/desorption process and data modeling are examined.

“…Estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3) are three natural estrogens found in human and animal and are therefore excreted by them. Consequently, these estrogens can enter the environment through discharges of domestic sewage effluents, runoff from agricultural sources and the disposal of animal waste, since they are not efficiently removed by conventional methods of water treatment 4,5 .…”

“…An experimental dataset from Gomes et al (2009) is selected for the study since it captures the changes in the concentrations of EE2 states over time. Data of such a nature are limited in the literature as more usually data involve monitoring influent and effluent only (Ting and Praveena, 2017;Yu et al, 2019).…”

Mathematical modelling can play a key role in understanding as well as quantifying uncertainties surrounding the presence and fate of emerging pollutants in wastewater treatment processes (WWTPs). This paper presents for the first time a simplified emerging pollutant pathway in the WWTP that incorporates two potential pathways to sequestration. It develops deterministic and stochastic ordinary differential equations to gain insight into the fate and behaviour of a case study pharmaceutical, with particular focus on sorption to the solid phase, as well as the nature of the experimentally measured solid parent compound. Statistical estimation and inferential procedures are developed and via a proof-of-concept examination, the study
